Chapter 125: Faking Illness
As Shen Ao thought, Mrs. Shi loves orchids the most, and in the garden of the county mansion, there are various varieties of orchids competing with each other, fragrant and charming. It just says the characteristics of orchids.
The next sentence "It is like a halal ancient gentleman, and the reputation cannot be hidden behind closed doors" compares the orchid to people, comparing it to the ancient gentleman, giving people a very noble and elegant beautiful image, isn't this the characteristic of the orchid?
This poem is already considered to be upper-middle, but Shen Ao blurted it out, from this, you can see that Shen Ao's talent has learned; In addition, this poem just hits Mrs. Shi's preferences, how can Mrs. Shi still have the slightest doubt about Shen Ao's knowledge?
Mrs. Shi smiled, looking at Shen Ao's gaze, naturally a little different.
Shen Ao bowed and replied: "Orchids have always been gentlemen among flowers, and students naturally like them. ”
He just followed Mrs. Shi's words and said, he really didn't know much about flowers, for fear that Mrs. Shi would continue to entangle the problem of flowers, so he smiled and continued: "It's a pity that although the student loves the nobility of orchids, he is a layman, and he can't escape the fetters of this world, and he has too many distractions in his heart, but he can't calm down and taste this noble flower." ”
Mrs. Shi nodded again and again: "Yes, it's not just Shen Gongzi, it's me, isn't it also a person in the world?" The size of the house, which one should not be experienced by yourself, although it is loved, but every day can only take a small half to the flower garden to see. ”
Shen Ao couldn't help but think in his heart: "Sure enough, this Mrs. Shi must be a person surnamed Ge Jianyi, and she is responsible for all the big and small affairs of the county mansion, but I'm afraid that even the county prince can't ask about it!" With a smile on his face, he said, "Madame is too modest." ”
Mrs. Shi said to Mrs. Zhou: "Mrs. Zhou, this young man in your family is really interesting, but I don't know if he has ever been married?" ”
How could anyone come as a guest, and when she saw someone, she asked about the marriage, Mrs. Zhou smiled slightly, knowing that Mrs. Shi had a very good impression of Shen Ao, so she took the liberty to ask, so she said truthfully: "I have never been married." ”
"That's great." Mrs. Shi took a sip of tea and said with a smile: "I know a few of the young ladies of the various families in Bianjing, take some time, I will go and inquire about the young man of your family to see if there is a suitable candidate." ”
Mrs. Zhou said with a smile: "Although Shen Ao is not young, he is usually sensible, but sometimes he is a little playful, if he can achieve a marriage, with his wife to take care of him, he may be able to take care of it." ”
Shen Ao was speechless, and when he read a poem, Mrs. Shi remembered her life's events, and my son was not mentally prepared! People are very pure!
But he didn't refuse, he wasn't so hypocritical, and Mrs. Shi was just talking now, why did she jump out and oppose it.
This era is the era of arranged marriages, what Shen Ao has to do is to do his best to be independent, but if he seeks death and life to oppose it, he is sick!
Shen Ao stood aside with a smile and gave Zhou Heng a look; A pair of cousins still have a tacit understanding, Zhou Heng hurriedly said: "Mother, my cousin and I have only eaten some morning tea, and we haven't eaten yet!" ”
At this time, Mrs. Zhou's face was radiant, Shen Ao was very competitive, and earned her a lot of face, and when she heard Zhou Heng say this, she hurriedly said: "Why don't you say it earlier, quickly, go to the kitchen and ask the cooks to get some food, don't be hungry." ”
Shen Ao and Zhou Heng were overjoyed in their hearts, and they hurriedly said goodbye, Mrs. Shi stopped Shen Ao and said, "Shen Gongzi, you come, I have something for you." ”
Mrs. Shi smiled, took out two handkerchiefs from her sleeves, these handkerchiefs had a fragrance of orchids, white and soft, but there were a few gorgeous orchids embroidered in the middle, and then looked at Shen Ao and said: "This is my own embroidery when I have nothing to do, I will give it to you today, it should be my meeting gift, if I have leisure, I will go to the Weijun Mansion with Zhou Shinephew to play, and the Weijun Gong also wants to see you and talk to you." ”
Champa ...... Shen Ao was a little depressed, this was the first time he had accepted such a gift, but Mrs. Shi wanted to give it, he had no reason not to accept it, so he hurriedly accepted it, and said with a smile: "Mrs. Xie." ”
He and Zhou Heng went out of the small hall, went to find some food, and then went back to their rooms to sleep.
The next morning, Chun'er called, Shen Ao got up in a daze and put on his clothes!
Chun'er was in a much better mood today, chattering about yesterday's events.
It turned out that the night before, the emperor went out in a small suit, but he didn't bring a guard, but when he arrived at the emperor's eldest son's mansion, he was also alone when he left, and the guards in the palace thought that there were guards of the emperor's eldest son, but the guards of the emperor's eldest son's mansion thought that there was a guard master in the palace to escort him in secret.
was about to search around, but fortunately, the emperor returned to the palace in time, and the matter finally came to an end.
Shen Ao laughed and said, "Did the emperor go to the treasure appraisal conference?" I don't know, oh, he's going to be in microsuits. ”
Saying that, Shen Ao no longer paid attention to these trivial matters, how the emperor was, it had nothing to do with him!
At this time, Shen Ao remembered something, and then took out the Lanpa given by Mrs. Shi, handed it to Chun'er, and said, "Give this champa to Chun'er, this is given by Mrs. Shi, and I can't use it as a big man." ”
Chun'er's face was a little embarrassed, and she hesitated slightly, and said, "Brother Shen, Chun'er doesn't need it." ”
Shen Ao gave it to her and said with a straight face: "Put it away, don't lose it, I'll check it in a few days." ”
Chun'er grabbed Lampa, and then stopped refusing, suddenly remembered her mission, and said, "Brother Shen, grandpa asked you to go, saying that he had something to tell you." ”
Shen Ao sighed, grandpa wants to see him early in the morning, I don't know what's going on!
Chun'er said on the side again: "When Grandpa came back last night, he was quite distracted, and he seemed to be full of worries, Brother Shen saw Grandpa, so he should pay attention." ”
Shen Ao nodded and said, "Chun'er, are you working hard in the house?" I have an idea, you redeem yourself first and go to the Elegant Mountain House to help. ”
Chun'er shook her head and said, "I'm used to serving my wife, it's good to stay here; Brother Shen, go see your grandfather, don't delay. ”
Shen Ao nodded and hurriedly went.
In the study, Zhou Zheng seemed to be in a trance, although he was holding a book in his hand, he was absent-minded, and he didn't read a word.
Yesterday, it was said that the official family was missing, and there was chaos in the palace, and even the eldest son of the emperor was scared into a cold sweat, and later inquired, only to know that the official family went out with two people, but these two people had a lot to do with him, one was Shen Ao, and the other was Zhou Heng.
Originally, the palace guards were going to go to the Guogong Mansion to look for people directly, if it wasn't for the official family to go back in time, Shen Ao and Zhou Heng, the two children, were afraid that they would be difficult to get out of the way.
It stands to reason that the official family returned to the palace, and everyone was relieved, and some people went to ask the official family's line of hiding, but the official family just smiled and said nothing, and only said that the judge on duty in Jingzhao Mansion was able to do things well, of course, this matter did not go deeper, but only this sentence, the implication was very strong, and everyone thought in their hearts, this judge, I am afraid that I will be on the rise.
As for Shen Ao and Zhou Heng, the official family just laughed, but issued a strict order, no one was allowed to tell Shen Ao of his identity.
This is strange, not allowed to tell, is it a blessing or a curse for Shen Ao?
Zhou Zheng is worried about this, and now it seems that the official family has a good impression of Shen Ao, but if Shen Ao is kept in the dark, maybe if he angers Tianyan, it will be a bad thing.
In a trance, Shen Ao came.
Zhou Zheng shook up his spirits and asked Shen Ao to sit down, not mentioning anything in his heart, but just asking him why he didn't study in Guozijian today.
Shen Ao had no choice but to say that he was a little tired and took a few days off to come back and rest.
Zhou Zheng straightened his face and said a few words that he should not slack off in reading, and later, his tone was relaxed, which meant that it was good to rest for a few days.
Shen Ao found that his uncle was a little in a trance, but many times he was talking but suddenly interrupted, and he couldn't help but think in his heart: "Could it be that Uncle Fei has something on his mind?" Maybe this has something to do with me? Although he thought so, he didn't ask Zhou Zheng.
Zhou Zheng smiled and said: "This time you are out of the limelight, the adults in all the provinces want to see you, if you have time, I will take you to pay respects." ”
Shen Ao nodded; At this time, Liu Wen came to greet him with his name post: "Grandpa, Master Tang Yan and Tang are here." ”
Lord Tang?
Zhou Zheng smiled bitterly: "I don't know what he is doing?" ”
Although he and Tang Yan were polite when they met, they had no friendship in private.
The sudden visit of this country's priest wine surprised him a little.
Liu Wendao: "Lord Tang heard that the young master was sick, so he rushed here early this morning, saying that he was coming to investigate the young master's illness. ”
Liu Wen secretly glanced at Shen Ao, Mom, this young master is so fierce that he looks like a patient, it seems that there is something strange about this!
"Sick?" Zhou Zhenghu looked at Shen Ao suspiciously.
Shen Ao had no choice but to confess with a wry smile: "That's the case, I was afraid that Lord Tang would not be willing to take a leave, so I had to find an excuse!" ”
My cousin is not doing well, now that Lord Tang has come to visit the patient, this is a fool, for this matter, Shen Ao can only smile bitterly.
Zhou Zhengjin said that he didn't mean to be harsh, he just sighed, and didn't dig deeper, his heart was too heavy, and he didn't have much mind to take care of this anymore.
Shen Ao looked at Zhou Zheng's face and said a little weakly: "Otherwise, I'll go back to the room." ”
The implication is that the nephew should go back to the room and pretend to be sick now, so as not to be seen through by Lord Tang.
"Well, go ahead." Zhou Zheng stood up and said to Liu Wen: "Follow me to welcome guests." ”
Shen Aoru was amnesty, and hurriedly went out, it was really miserable, the principal came to visit the patient in person, he had to prepare quickly, and he had to inform his cousin, don't show his stuff!
